How many times have you had the problem of increasing the 'stickiness' of your Joomla site ?

We saw the major Social sites of the day like LinkedIn & Facebook, were achieving this with great effectiveness by sending personalized periodic alerts about that was happening in their community to their users.

If you manage multiple Joomla sites, then we recommend using our very own Joomla Upgrade Notifier extension that will allow you to easily keep track of your site versions.

Another extension we'd recommend you to install is Sam Moffatt's Joomla Upgrade Manager which will let you upgrade your Joomla installation painlessly.

Upgrade to 1.5.X today !Still on Joomla 1.0 ? We can help get you up & running on Joomla 1.5. Contact our services division at sales@tekdi.net for a Quote.

Techjoomla.com back up after database issuesTechjoomla- behind the scenes Techjoomla was down for almost 36 hours after a database issue caused due to server problems wiping out all our data to the day we were launched ! This happened just when we were in the process of replacing a dead Hard disc on our backup machine, which meant we had no usuable backup whatsoever.

What followed for the next 24 hours is the most incredible restoration operation we have ever conducted with scrapping data from Google's Cache & order notification emails & what not.. If the more geeky of you are interested in how we managed to be back up in such a short time we will be putting a blog post about this soon at techjoomla.com
